University finances 2016-17

How The University of Exeter earned its money in 2016/17

About half our income comes from teaching and half from a variety of other sources, including research. Research creates new knowledge and this informs the suite of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching we offer. As Government reduces the amount of teaching grants they provide universities, replaced by tuition fee income, that puts students at the heart of what we do.

How The University of Exeter spent its money in 2016/17

The way we spend our money reflects the vibrancy of our University. Research inspired teaching is at the heart of what we do, providing students with a world class education. But equally important are the support services, covering the arts and sports, state of the art facilities set in our beautiful campus environments in Exeter and Penryn, Cornwall. We also spend significant sums on student support, bursaries and scholarships, provide a range of careers and welfare services as well as fund the Guild of Students.
